Even a cat like Huatang who usually stays home and never leaves the Kyushu community for nothing, knows that the climate, temperature and customs and culture of different parts of the country vary greatly.
While the territory is vast, some people throw ice and snow in winter, and some people step on the beach to protect themselves from the sun.
But summer is a very special time.
Hot air, strong sunshine, in these few months, the whole country cannot escape the enthusiasm of the sun.
Huatang managed to lie down on the watermelon, and barely adapted to the scorching sun at noon, but was blurred by the rain after the outing, and gradually became irritable.
You can still hide in the hot weather, lie down on the cold watermelon to cool down, and then sneak a few mouthfuls of ice cream.
There is nothing to do if there is too much rain. Whether it is indoors or outdoors, the air is a little damp, as if you can squeeze the water out of thin air with your hands.
Moreover, summer rain has absolutely nothing to do with gentleness and friendliness. Even if it is not a heavy rain, it can still be wrapped in the wind and slap people on the face twice.
Human skin is not very friendly, let alone fluffy like Huatang and sweet shrimp.
Stretching out her claws, Huatang felt like she was about to drip, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Even the joy of eating Pi Yazi mutton baked buns at the farmhouse before, Huatang can hardly maintain her sanity, and she wants to jump out and fight Yusi head-on.
The road surface is slippery in rainy days, and the instability of driving safety has increased. Gu Yusheng and Lin Qing also raised a hundred and twenty hearts to pay attention to the road conditions.
At this time, on the expressway, you have to pay attention not only to your own car, but also to other cars. It takes a lot of attention to pay attention, so Sister Ye checked the nearest expressway service area and paused for a while.
"The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier." Bai Hefei took out his slippers and flip-flops from the trunk, and asked Brother Gu and Brother Lin if they wanted to change.
Because the continuous rain has accumulated a lot of water on the ground in the high-speed service area, it is troublesome to wear any shoes at this time. Instead of trying to dry the shoes later, it is better to put on slippers first.
Ye Yulan also changed her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and went with Gu Yusheng and the others, as if she was going to plant rice seedlings in the field. It looked a little funny, but it was very suitable for a rainy day.
It may be that Ye Yulan and Gu Yusheng are both tall and slender. The two of them rolled up their trouser legs and stepped on flip flops. Their clear ankle lines and powerful calves made them look like siblings walking in a fashion show.
In contrast, Lin Qing and Bai Hefei are like internet addicts dragging their nerd brothers out, their painting styles are completely different.
"I'll go, Xiaobai, do you have any other flip flops? Brother Gu's style, why do they look so good?"
"...Brother Lin, the slippers for the four of us are all of the same style wholesale."
Because this time the destination is the seaside, Bai Hefei bought solid-color flip flops for three men and one woman for stepping on the water by the beach, but he didn't expect that it was raining too much, so he just took them out to wear in advance.
Brother Lin was stabbed by little brother Bai, silently covered his heart, and got out of the car alone with a shake of his raincoat, letting Bai Hefei feel his ruthless back for himself.
"Huatang?"
The group was quite full after eating at the farmhouse, and there is no need to go to the high-speed service area to find a place to eat now, but it is still necessary to go in and take a rest and check the next road conditions.
Sweet shrimp jumped out of the car and obediently followed Gu Yusheng. After the rain was blocked by the big umbrella above his head, he looked at the puddle on the ground and regained his joy.
Huatang didn't want to step on the water, she squatted in the back row and didn't want to get out of the car, she would only get out if Sister Ye hugged her.
Skillfully picked up the cat and stuffed it under the raincoat, Ye Yulan touched the cat's head protruding from the collar of the raincoat, but Huatang was not delicate.
After all, the rain is really annoying.
There are a lot of cars parked in the high-speed service area. You can tell from the fast food restaurants that are basically full. It is estimated that the drivers and passengers in the past stopped here to refresh.
The group found a shop selling specialty products, borrowed two long benches to sit down, and chatted with the boss by the way.
"The rain can't stop today. It's been raining for several days. The roof is covered with mold and it's very damp." The boss heard that Lin Qing and the others were out to play, so he suggested that they find a place to live before dark. Don't drive late at night, it's dangerous.
Not only is the driving vision affected, but the brakes are not as easy to use as usual. Even on the speed-limited roads in the city, the number of rear-end collision accidents increases sharply in rainy days, let alone the expressways with driving speed regulations.
There's no need to take this risk if you're out to play. Ye Yulan searched on her phone and was ready to go when the rain subsided a little.
"I know this place well, Xiao Gu, you go and drive another car and follow me."
Among the four, Ye Yulan and Gu Yusheng's driving skills are the best, and the mentality of the two is also the most stable. When it rains, the sky will be darker than usual, and if you don't hurry up, it will be dark, so let the driving skills be excellent. The two openings are the safest way.
Gu Yusheng had no objection, and went to another car to follow. Hua Tang and Tian Xia, who were having fun for a while, simply slept in a circle in the back row.
Huatang has already arrived at her destination, getting out of the car and getting ready to fight the rain.
The bad temper of the evil cat is such that it must be revenged.
Every flood season, there is too much rain in the monsoon season in China, and the water vapor between the sky and the earth can't wait to swallow everything.
Fortunately, the rain didn't fall all the time. When Ye Yulan and the others arrived at the hotel where they stayed at night, it was drizzling. Huatang stepped on Gu Yusheng's shoulder delicately, punching the rain a few times to be satisfied.
The hotel's dehumidification work is good. After entering, it is dry and tidy. The flower soup and sweet shrimp have also been washed, and the fluffy and fluffy appearance has been restored.
Because the hotel is so cozy, Ye Yulan and the others know that there is a night view nearby, so they don't really want to leave, so they just go to the observation deck on the second floor of the hotel, drink some wine and look at the lights through the floor-to-ceiling glass .
The dense rain makes people uncomfortable, but it is really beautiful to hide in the hotel and look out.
The water vapor made the halo very gentle, and at the same time blocked all the noisy voices. Huatang squatted on the sofa, couldn't help but move closer to the glass, watching the raindrops gather together and flow down, each drop seemed to be wrapped in light spot.
"The rain is actually quite beautiful, but it's too troublesome to travel."
"The impact on agriculture is also great, as is the drainage system in the city, and many villages will be flooded and flooded." Ye Yulan was a little emotional. Too much rain can easily cause a series of natural disasters. It is easy to induce landslides and landslides, rural towns may also be threatened by floods, and cities can easily be completely submerged if the drainage system is too limited.
Moreover, fires can be extinguished, typhoons can be hidden, and in the efforts of people to unite and find ways to resist natural disasters, they seem somewhat helpless against floods.
From ancient times to the present, people have always struggled with excessive rain and uncontrolled floods, and difficult travel is the slightest impact.
Bai Hefei hasn't left the school yet, and hasn't seen many big scenes. It sounds like he doesn't have a strong sense of substitution, but when Gu Yusheng and Lin Qing were in the army, they both participated in flood relief. Destroyed, people trapped, and branches or dead animals floating in the muddy water, they couldn't help frowning.
This year's rain is indeed too heavy.
"Okay, Huatang, let's eat fugu tomorrow, shall we?"
It's useless to feel emotional here, Ye Yulan stretched out her hand and patted it, grabbed the black cat and ruaed it twice, and suggested to eat fugu tomorrow.
Even Hua Tang knew about the freshness of puffer fish. After all, in the online class, there were many ancient poems or stories about risking their lives to eat puffer fish. Hei Mao immediately brightened up after hearing it.
Bai Hefei and the others have never eaten puffer fish. The impression of this kind of fish that can inflate into balls is still in the tragic scene of "you can only eat once in life, and whoever finishes eating first will leave".
"I remember that in the past two years, there have been farmed non-toxic puffer fish." Gu Yusheng had never eaten it, but he had heard this saying when he went to learn about the ingredients.
The two breeds of red-finned puffer and fugu obscurus have been lifted from the ban. The puffer fish that Sister Ye mentioned should be this.
"Yes, who would dare to eat wild puffer fish? Up to now, there is no specific antidote for tetrodotoxin, so we won't take that risk."
Fugu is famous for its delicacy. Even Huatang was very excited when she heard that Sister Ye would take everyone to eat fugu tomorrow.
Perhaps because of the anticipation in the heart, the next morning, a group of people set off full of energy. If you go early, you can visit where the puffer fish are raised. If you don’t eat puffer fish, you don’t know the taste of fish. Who wouldn’t look forward to it
Going out with Sister Ye, who often travels north and south and has many friends, can naturally enjoy the benefits of eye-opening, and the rain is not so annoying. The two cars went straight to the puffer fish.
Huatang got up early to make up lessons, and was very interested in making fugu cooks.
Fugu is famous for its toxicity and deliciousness, especially the saying that after making any kind of fugu, the cook must taste the first bite, which made Huatang feel that it is human beings who are more ruthless.
Every time a puffer fish is eaten, several chefs are poisoned in the world, which makes the evil cat amazed.
So when they arrived at the place, when Ye Yusheng greeted her friends, Huatang stepped on Gu Yusheng's shoulders and pulled herself like a cat, wanting to see what the chef who had tried food for many years and stood upright looked like.
Ordinary chefs cook fish because of cooking skills, but this chef cooks puffer fish because of fate.
"Sister Ye, long time no see." The chef who received him was not as over-the-top as Hua Tang imagined, just an ordinary middle-aged man, with a friendly smile, and nothing special at all.
Ye Yulan patted the boss on the shoulder, chatted for a few words and went to see the live puffer fish first.
Although the name is puffer fish, in fact, this kind of fish lives in the sea, and a few species can enter freshwater rivers and lakes. When they come out of the water, they can also make chirping sounds similar to pigs.
The boss asked Gu Yusheng and the others to take care of the accompanying cats and dogs, so as not to fall into the water after being excited, and showed them the picture of the blowfish puffing and barking.
Kind of cute, to be honest.
Huatang couldn't help but step on her paw, thinking it was so cute, she could... eat two.
